Flat Bread



Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 4 cups
Dry yeast - 1 packet
warm water
salt- to taste
Olive oil
Extra flour for dusting.


For topping:
mozzarella cheese shredded
grated garlic - 3 to 4 cloves
1 tomato - chopped
1 red onion - chopped
1 green bell pepper - chopped




Mix the yeast with the warm water and leave it alone for 5 minutes.  To this mixture now add the salt and flour and start kneading.  If have a mixer then run it in slow speed until you get a soft ball.  Then apply olive oil to the glass bowl and keep the dough in it.   Cover it with a plastic wrap and keep it in a warm place to raise.  After 3 or 4 hours the dough will raise to double the size.  Now take small ball of dough to the size of orange and dust the counter and roll it into circles or to the desired shape using rolling pin.  Now prick it with a fork and top it with olive oil , chopped tomatoes , onion and bell pepper, garlic and finally with shredded mozzarella cheese (optional).  Heat the oven to 425 and place the flat bread into the oven and the bread should be ready in 10 to 12 minutes.  Cut it into squares and enjoy it with hot soup.
